Background The ISEAN-Hivos Program is a Regional Global Fund Program that focuses on reducing the vulnerability and risks of Msm and Tg to Hiv infection in Insular Southeast Asia. The Program also intends to address critical gaps in supporting and scaling up activities that reduce HIV/Aids among MSMs and TGs. One of the key strategies of the Program is the development and implementation of training modules that address stigma and discrimination among health workers when they provide clinical and related services to MSMs and TGs, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Timor Leste. This study describes the strategy used by the ISEAN-Hivos Program towards achieving this goal.
